$5.19 is a good price for 120, right?
« on: June 01, 2019, 04:57:06 PM »
Adorama has a very confusing pricing matrix for film. Their Ilford 120 films tend to be cheaper than Kodak 135-36. Makes no sense because Ilford is imported, and 120 should be the same price as 135-36 just based on surface area. A while ago I happened to see XP2 for $5.49 a roll and jumped on it; today I saw that HP5+ is $5.19 a roll and jumped on it :o Meanwhile, Tri-X 135-36 is still $5.79/roll. What is this insanity??? ;D
